- TRIVIA -

Ashura Blaster was released in March 1990.

Developed by Visco (in the 2nd stage, you can see 'Visco').

The kanji characters on the titlescreen read 'Ashura'. Ashura is a demon related to fighting.

The game forbids the initials 'SEX' on the high score table. If you try, it gets changed to 'REX'.

- UPDATES -

The US version has the "Winners Don't Use Drugs" screen.

- TIPS AND TRICKS -

In this game, there is no backfire from enemies, like in other similar shoot'em ups. So you do not have to worry to be hit, after you pass certain enemies.
